Chapter 2606: M1 tank

The ground war is about to begin!
The army of the date palm country has been prepared long ago, and even while waiting, it has become impatient.
In previous wars, the army was the most important, and the army was even the only one. Later, the navy came out, and later, the aviation army was separated from the army. The army's position in the three-army sequence is getting lower and lower.
Even in Han, the army has started to reduce its troops continuously. It is strengthening the air force and navy, not to mention the offensive Eagle Nation Army. Eagle Nation is deployed globally and can enter immediately. Only the navy and the air force are fighting, and the army’s heavy equipment is not easy to deploy quickly. They can only come here on a slow cargo ship.
Moreover, any commander prefers to use the navy and air force. When will the army be dispatched when the air strikes have defeated the enemy’s power. It can be said that the army’s current mission has become to clean the battlefield for others. Of it.
Watching the plane flying overhead day by day, the soldiers of the Eagle Nation sighed in their hearts.
Now, leaning on his M1 tank, Brian, the tank driver of the 64th Regiment of the 24th Infantry Division, was smoking a cigarette while watching the plane flying by in the sky.
"Now it seems that their losses are getting smaller and smaller, and all the planes that went out to bomb have returned." Blair said.
He is a black man with dark skin and a tall stature. There are many soldiers like him in the M1 tank organization. Their most important task is to carry artillery shells.
That's right, when Xiong State had long started to use autoloaders, the soldiers of the Eagle Nation still used the human flesh loader like Uncle Hei. Of course, there were many reasons for this difference.
The tanks of the Bear Country are relatively low, small in size, and the internal space is even smaller and pitiful. Therefore, the tankers of the Bear Country are almost 1.5 meters small. Such talents can operate flexibly in the tank. No matter how tall it is, it is not convenient to be inside.
With the continuous development of tank guns, the calibers are getting bigger and bigger, and the shells are getting heavier and heavier. This means that it takes more and more effort to carry the shells. The little tanker of Xiong Country begins to gradually increase the difficulty. So, the bear country simply removed the loader, so that there are only two people left in the turret, which is convenient for maneuvering, expands the space, and serves multiple purposes. In this way, the automatic loader is inevitable.
Since the T-64 tank, they have used autoloaders.
But the Eagle Nation is different. The Eagle Nation’s tank is very tall and has a large internal volume. Just when the Xiong Nation’s tank was still hovering at 30 to 40 tons, the Eagle Nation’s tank was already 60 to 70 tons. There are also seven pairs of road wheels. The interior is very wide and the turret is even wider. The internal space is more than enough for three people. Besides, the automatic loading machine is not reliable and often fails. When it is critical, it has to rely on people. Therefore, the Eagle Country tanks have always had four people. Anyway, there are so many black uncles in the country, which is definitely enough.
The failure rate of the automatic loading machine is very high. Even the technology like Eagle Country is unwilling to use it. Bear Country’s, the reliability is even lower, especially for the T-72, where shells are placed around the turret and die. Blasting is commonplace, as long as you die, the turret will fly out.
Beside Blair, the gunner Albert, who also drank a cigarette, looked up at the sky, watched the plane fly by, and said: "Yes, now, the air power of the date palm country has been beaten. It's almost there. I think it's time for our tanks to be dispatched. I'm really looking forward to it."
The huge army hasn't started yet. Their M1 tanks haven't formally confronted the tanks of the Date Country.
"I heard that the elite tank troops of the Date Palm are equipped with 79 tanks imported from Han. We don't know if our tanks can defeat their tanks."
"Then it needs to be said?" Captain Kevin immediately retorted: "Of course our tanks have the most advanced performance, regardless of whether we are still using 105mm tank guns. Our shells are specially developed by ourselves. If you encounter a 79 tank, just wait for us to blow its main armor!"
The M1 tank is the pride of the Eagle State Army. This type of tank is trans-epochal. For example, in terms of engine, it uses a gas turbine. The advanced power of this kind of power is unparalleled. No matter how it is operated, it will not stall. The torque is strong and the speed is fast. Apart from burning more oil, there are no other shortcomings.
Its armor initially used Choba wood armor imported from Niu Country. After their own depleted uranium armor was developed, they immediately replaced it with this self-developed armor, which was quite strong.
As for the tank guns, most of the M1 tanks now have no 120mm guns. Compared with the Leopard 2, it seems to be a lot lower. However, depending on the performance of the tank gun, you can’t just look at the caliber, but also the shell. , The same tank gun, using different shells, the lethality is absolutely different, take their current tank shells, the performance is absolutely the most advanced, among the 105mm shells, none can match them. Because they use the latest depleted uranium armor-piercing projectile! With depleted uranium armored bodyguards and depleted uranium armor-piercing shells attacking the enemy, they are the most powerful combination.
While they were chatting, a whistle rang from the base: "Attention, all captains, go to the headquarters immediately!"
The commander is the lowest combat commander, and he called them all for one reason, that is, the battle is about to begin! Elbert felt that the flames in his chest started to burn. He remembered the galloping in the butterfly country back then, and now they have to experience that feeling again.
The ground war is about to begin!
What they don't know is that the disaster is slowly approaching.
Opposite them, in the desert, a convoy was slowly advancing. These vehicles were completely painted in desert camouflage. From the sky, it was difficult to observe visually. Now, the convoy passed through the sand dunes. It stopped on a piece of flat ground.
"Attention, immediately enter a state of combat!"
In the convoy, the huge monster unfolded.
Looking at the tires on one side, there are more than a dozen tires, which are like centipedes. The long and bulging cylinder in the middle is like an intercontinental missile. However, when the camouflage is torn off, you can see that it is long. The long and thick barrel is there. If the Eagles are here, they will be able to see clearly that this cannon is the naval gun of their Iowa battleship!
